It is a canned response. THe upgrades you want would not help with signal indoors.  Only 800 would help that and I think that is a while off for southern NM and El Paso.

@tyroned3222 I asked last week about some towers and they got pushed back again till December. They wouldn't tell me why. I'm starting to lose faith in them now.

Ya, same here! We are towards the end of this year. Even if they start sometime next year we still won't see any changes until mid 2018. The 800mhz ibez who knows when they will approve that.

T-Mobile has some of the highest spectrum holdings In the country in El paso and Albuquerque. I use t mobile and sprint.. t mobile in El paso launched band 12 and some site have 3xCA enabled already...

I saw your speed test in the Tmo thread. It is nice but think about it. Your speed is basically 10x10 and that is it until GSM and HSPA is turned off.

Ya , the additional capacity is only 10×10mhz your right, but it sure beats sprint

Today. Im fine paying less waiting for band 41 deployment. Sprint demo 3xCA today and hit 285megs on an HTC10.

How much longer are you willing to wait? Most of there capex funding is geared towards small cells. So, is there still funding available at the moment for new lte plus sites? Thats all you guys need you already have 800mhz.

Not in a lot of places. We still have some that don't even have LTE (one of them is nearby my house)

It is worth it for me with 5 lines and I pay less than I would with Verizon, ATT or Tmo.  I have a work verizon hotspot and yes they may have more coverage but suffer from the same issues sprint does.

 

Yes it helps that band 26 is deployed and used as a bandaid fix for capacity. I think they should just come back and do the GMOs tha are left.

I don't know where you live but in the heights I am pretty good except far north east heights.

I agree about GMOs. Just get them done! The Westside does need more work then the eastside. Some places everything is useless and it's sort of scary to be honest. If something happens and no way to reach out to emergency services, that's going to bite Sprint in the butt. I even said this to them.

I'm glad you guys got the convo going a bit! The thread died of there for a while (I mean there isn't much to report). Are you looking at other options currently?

I kind of am, but not sure. Maybe thinking of picking up T Mobile to try.

If Sprint starts putting those small cell on the westside, that would really improve things. Wonder if they have any plans for that.

I would think that would be easier than bring band 41. band 25 small cells from ericson would be awesome. They could deploy 7 to 10 at the same cost of 1 NV 1.0 tower (cost wise)

I see sprint is rolling out new unlimited plans. Gonna have to look into them. On the surface it looks good.

That would be nice as many of towers on the westside are so spread out. I can't believe the one off Coors and Montano still hasn't been upgraded to LTE.

They wouldn't tell me if it was in the plans. :(

 

It was originally suppose to be done by September, but when I asked again recently they said December now.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
